America is my country & NYC is my hometown… My lifestyle is inspired by affection for Manhattan: the way I remember it growing up/how I experience it now & its fictional accounts (Edith Wharton’s novels & Woody Allen’s films). This look expresses my casual citified point-of-view: a lace blouse + 3.1 Phillip Lim piece (a trapezoid suspender skirt – look #9 from his fall 2010 show). Overall an urban tribute to old fashioned schoolgirl cool… Fashionshesays.com.
